The President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the United Nations and Muslim countries today to end the worst clashes in recent years between Israel and Hamas, which controls Gaza Strip, stressing that Ankara will support any UN initiative to end the violence.
Reiterating that Israel’s actions in Jerusalem and Gaza indicate that it is a “terrorist state”, Erdogan said he has discussed the issue with leaders of 19 countries.
“We call on every state and every institution, regardless of religion or origin, to act as soon as possible against its attacks. IsraelThe Turkish president said in a teleconference of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). “Those who remain silent or openly support the bloodshed on the part of Israel should know that one day it will be their turn,” he continued.
Israel pounded Gaza today, firing artillery and airstrikes, killing at least 13 people, including three children. At least 122 people, 51 of them women and children, have been killed in recent days in Gaza, according to Palestinian medical sources. Eight people have lost their lives in Israel.
“There is an urgent need for the Security Council to take swift action to ensure peace and tranquility in Jerusalem,” Erdogan added. He also said that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which has 57 members and is projected as the collective voice of the Muslim world, should take action. “If he does not immediately take a clear and effective stance, he will be considered to have denied his existence,” he warned.
